This article explores the difficulties of the students in reading English texts in learning at the Covid-19 Pandemic Era and the efforts done by the English teachers. The research has been done by using a qualitative approach by using reading tests and interviews as the instruments of research. The data that have been obtained were analyzed by reading, grouping, coding, and interpreting. Based on the result, it was found that the students have difficulties in determining idea, understanding vocabulary, finding detail information, and making inferences. There are some teacher's efforts to solve of students' difficulties in reading comprehension. They are: explaining more detail, giving new vocabulary, and not allowing the students to speak Arabic language when studying English. The dominant factor that made students difficult in reading English text is that they usually speak Arabic language in classroom. Based on the findings it can be stated that the students had difficulties in understanding English texts, even though they studied English in the pandemic era. However, the teachers had tried to minimize the difficulties by giving more explanation and example to get the information from the text. It is suggested that the teachers in boarding school must give more interesting model to teach the students reading, and also giving the students authentic reading materials to make them being easier to get the ideas from the text.

“…Similarly, in a study by Adnan (2018), students highlighted that e-tutors often failed to provide timely and comprehensive feedback, which hindered their progress. Another study by Quang and Tri (2021) explored the challenges and opportunities of online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, and findings indicate that communication challenges were a significant issue for both students and teachers. In this regard, communication challenges are a common issue in online learning and several studies have explored this topic (Almaiah, Al-Khasawneh, Althunibat, 2020;Hebebci, Bertiz & Alan, 2020;Khalil et al, 2020).…”

Online or e-tutoring is a component of e-learning that involves teaching in an online setting where the e-tutor provides support to a small group of students, which can increase confidence, improve topic comprehension and develop critical learning skills. To enhance e-tutoring in the Department of Financial Accounting at the University of South Africa, this study examined student perspectives or evaluations on the effectiveness of e-tutoring in a distance learning environment, as well as the challenges encountered during its implementation. The study adopted a quantitative design where online questionnaires were used as data collecting instruments. A total of 3,837 questionnaires were completed by students who indicated their willingness to participate in the study. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse the data. The major findings revealed that e-tutoring has enhanced students’ learning options in financial accounting modules, through the provision of assistance and the promotion of interactive classrooms. The study revealed that students expressed a need for increased training for e-tutors to enhance their abilities in supporting academic goals, while technological challenges such as bad internet and internet cost were identified as significant barriers to successful e-tutoring. Recommendations include promoting e-tutoring in higher education institutions to support students’ academic endeavours, providing regular training for e-tutors to handle technical content and overcome technological challenges, and establishing effective communication channels to facilitate student-tutor interactions. These measures aim to improve teaching and learning in the online environment, fostering a supportive and engaging experience for students.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, tremendous Vietnamese lecturers are assumed to have conducted virtual teaching in response to keep track of learning progress. This type of teaching seemingly brings several benefits to students and teachers. However, not all English instructors show their proficiency in applying e-Learning platforms. The present study was conducted with an aim to investigate the obstacles and chances given to both English lecturers when teaching online. A sample of 69 English lecturers from diverse universities in Ho Chi Minh City was selected with convenience and random sampling. The research instruments included online questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. After administering questionnaires to gain responses and screening data, six lecturers were interviewed to have further ideas explored. Having analysed the piloted data, the preliminary findings have revealed that the virtual platforms are beneficial to teachers in terms of interaction, flexibility, and lesson delivery. They also indicated some problems such as application interruptions and students' lack of enthusiasm. The study will help English lecturers and practitioners raise awareness of conducting e-Learning and offer them some solutions to maximize this type of teaching
